The adopted wife of the tramp of the last days

The sky slowly darkened, and night fell.

The entire second district also began to fall into a kind of darkness. Many residents did not turn on the lights in their homes after nightfall, but let the darkness flood the originally dimly lit city.Everyone is uneasy, they are afraid that the light will attract some ominous things.

Only the orange lights on the city wall were brightly lit, the sound of gunfire mixed with the sound of artillery fire came intermittently, huge snowflakes fell non-stop, the streets were already covered with a thick layer of snow and ice, and helicopters occasionally flew from low altitudes. However, the roar gradually faded away.

The flames flickered in the small fireplace inside the house, keeping the temperature of the whole room in a pleasant range.

Mencius sat by the bed, looking at Jiang Shi who was sleeping soundly on the bed.He felt that this must be Jiang Shi's first sleep after becoming a white ghost.

Liu Hanyang did not break his promise, he did help Jiang Shi to turn him back into a human form, but the process was very painful for Jiang Shi.

Mencius lay in his clothes beside Jiang Shi, listening to Jiang Shi's steady and long breathing, staring at the white ceiling, slowly thinking about the next plan.

The army has withdrawn from the seventh district, which means that the second district will become the front line of the war. The original system of the second district will become chaotic, and the people want to enter the safer first district, so in the next few days , the entrance of the city wall in the first district will become very lively.

If you want to sneak in while the chaos is in, it's not impossible.

Mencius turned sideways, looked at Jiang Shi's sleeping profile, and began to figure out how to get the boat and keep Liu Hanyang from getting on the boat...

"Bang——" a loud noise exploded, breaking the silence of the entire community, and then an orange flame lit up. The fire was like a bursting firework. It was brilliant for a moment and then dimmed. What was bright was a flutter of the windows, which was the vibration of the windows when the air wave hit them.

Something exploded nearby.

Jiang Shi frowned, his eyelids began to tremble, and he was about to wake up from his dream.Mencius patted him comfortingly, and said softly, "It's okay, you can continue to sleep..."

Only then did Jiang Shi's brows loosen slowly, and he fell asleep again.

Mencius got up and got out of bed, went to the window to look outside.

The residential buildings outside also lit up countless lights, and many people stuck their heads out to see what was going on.

The explosion was not far away, the fire that had not been extinguished was still flickering, the horn of the car sounded very quickly, and the originally quiet residential area became lively in just a few minutes.

"Kuukou—" There was a knock on the door first, followed by Liu Hanyang's voice, "Meng Ziling, do you want to go out to watch the fun together?"

Mencius put down the curtains, walked towards the door, and said, "I won't go, I've already fallen asleep."

"Oh, well..." Liu Hanyang said with regret, then walked away slowly, following the sound of the door being closed.

"What?" Jiang Shi was still woken up, sat up and asked.

"It's okay, you can continue to sleep, I will call you if there is any problem." Meng Ziling pushed Jiang Shi back on the bed.

Jiang Shi lay on his back, looked at his hand, clenched it into a fist, and then let it go.

"What's the matter?" Meng Ziling sat down by the bed and asked.

Jiang Shi put down his hand, his eyes were gloomy, but he just pursed his lips tightly and did not speak.

Mencius asked, "Do you feel uncomfortable or are you not used to it?"

Jiang Shi closed his eyes, turned his back to face Mencius in a gesture of refusal.

Mencius Ling's heart sank, Jiang Shi had never been against him.

Meng Ziling climbed onto the bed, leaned over to kiss Jiang Shi's side face, and asked softly, "Tell me, what's the matter? Don't you feel comfortable?"

Jiang Shi pursed his lips tightly and frowned. He didn't know whether it was a problem of the angle or Meng Ziling's illusion. Meng Ziling felt that looking at Jiang Shi like this gave him the feeling of a child being stubborn and angry.

Mencius turned over and sat on Jiang Shi's body, bent down and kissed from Jiang Shi's frowning brows along the bridge of his nose all the way to his lips.

"Do you want to do it?" Mencius asked Jiang Shi with his lips in his mouth.

Jiang Shi held Mencius's face with both hands, but pushed Mencius away a little. His eyes, which were bright like stars, now dimmed, and he looked at Mencius with resentment.

Meng Ziling breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he doesn't find him annoying, it doesn't matter if he is angry or awkward.

"What's the matter?"

Jiang Shi let go of one hand and clenched it tightly into a fist. The muscles on his arm showed a tight outline through the close-fitting cotton coat: "Power, it's gone."

"What?" Meng Ziling was stunned for a while before he realized it.

Jiang Shi turned his head and looked at his fist with a lonely expression.

Meng Ziling's instant reaction felt that this was Liu Hanyang's conspiracy to make Jiang Shi lose his strength, so he himself is the only person in the world with complete alienation ability.

Thinking of this, Mencius Ling's eyes flashed with murderous intent, if this is really the case, he will definitely not let Liu Hanyang go!

Seeing Jiang Shi's frustrated look, Meng Ziling was full of distress, leaned over and kissed Jiang Shi's face, but couldn't say a word of comfort.

Mencius will not understand the feeling of falling from the top of the power back to its original position, because there will never be such a saying in this world as empathy. Everyone feels the same thing differently, but looking at Jiang Shi With this expression now, Meng Ziling felt really uncomfortable in his heart.

His Jiang Shi should be silent and strong, not what he looks like now.

"I'll make you change back." Mencius and Jiang Shi pointed nose to nose, staring at Jiang Shi's eyes and said firmly, "I will help you get back that strength, trust me."

Jiang Shi and Mencius Ling looked at each other, and their eyes slowly began to recover.

Mencius kissed Jiang Shi's forehead and said softly, "You need to rest now, get a good sleep first, we will be very busy tomorrow."

Jiang Shi stretched out his hand to embrace Mencius Ling into his arms, pressed his chin on the top of Mencius Ling's head, and the heat of speaking also rushed to Mencius Ling's forehead.

"Wife..." Jiang Shi rubbed Meng Ziling's forehead with his chin, and then called softly, "Wife..."

Mencius buried his face in Jiang Shi's neck, and with a smile on his lips, he patted Jiang Shi's back and said, "Well, go to sleep."

Probably really tired, Jiang Shi hugged Meng Ziling and fell asleep after a while.But the movement outside has not stopped. The sound of cars rang around the residential buildings here for a long time, followed by human voices and white shadows swept by the light of the flashlight.

Someone outside is searching for something.

The commotion outside finally quieted down in the middle of the night. Mencius Ling and Jiang Shi hugged each other and fell asleep for a while. When the sky was a little hazy, the commotion started to resound outside.

Noisy, car horns and people talking and arguing.

Mencius carefully got out of Jiang Shi's arms, got out of bed and went to the window to see what was going on outside.

Almost every room in the residential building outside was lit up, and there were still people below. Everyone was loading the salute into the car from the house, and then drove out of the residential building.

Because there were too many cars and people blocking the entrance of the residential area, the residents started arguing again, so the scene outside was really chaotic.

Mencius took a few glances, put down the curtains, opened the bedroom door and went to the living room.

The light was on in the living room, Liu Hanyang sat on the sofa, facing the TV, waved his hand when he saw Mencius Ling, and said, "Come and see this..."

Mencius Mausoleum is full of doubts about the past, and the TV is broadcasting live news. Thousands of people are crowded in front of the gate of the city wall of the second district. They crowded and protested loudly, demanding to enter the second and first districts, which are currently safe. , Among the chaotic crowd, there are soldiers' shadows.

But no matter how noisy the residents of District [-] at the entrance of District [-] are, the steel gates of District [-] are still tightly closed, and the soldiers patrolling on the city wall choose to ignore and be indifferent to the shouts and protests of the people below.

It's like completely abandoning everyone in District Seven.

Liu Hanyang pressed his voice, and a reporter said to the shaking camera against the snowflakes flying all over the sky: "Since the gate of the seventh district was captured by the snow ghost and his wife, the army has escorted the high-level citizens of the seventh district in the first place. The seventh district was evacuated at the first time, and after these people evacuated, the gate of the second district was completely closed. From last night to now, there is still no sign of opening the door. Does this mean that the seventh district is the same as the original Like the Ninth District, it has become abandoned by the military..."

Before the reporter finished speaking, the people who were still crowded at the gate of the Seventh District suddenly swarmed and dispersed, screams came from the TV, and a snow ghost ran into the crowd, facing the densely gathered crowd. The crowd attacked violently.

The picture on the TV was chaotic and bloody, but the TV station still played these contents without any hindrance.

Mencius looked away from the TV and said, "Don't you think we should leave here as soon as possible? Otherwise, the fate of District [-] will be ours."

Liu Hanyang smiled and said: "The door will be opened, even if the people in the military department are unwilling, the door will still be opened." Liu Hanyang emphasized the words "opened".

Meng Ziling sat down next to Liu Hanyang, stared at the chaotic scene on the TV, and said, "Then what are your plans for the future, just stay here?"

Liu Hanyang said: "Otherwise, if you have any good suggestions, you can tell them."

Mencius said, "Of course I have no objection..."

Liu Hanyang also stopped talking, only the screams from the TV and the sound of bullets exploding were left in the room.

The sky gradually became brighter, and the wind gradually picked up, and a thin layer of ice had formed on the windows.

Meng Ziling went to the kitchen to get some food and brought it back to the bedroom, while Liu Hanyang was still on the sofa staring at the TV.

In the bedroom, Jiang Shi was already awake, sitting on the edge of the bed, staring at his hands.

Meng Ziling put the things on the bedside table, sat next to Jiang Shi, handed over a bowl of cereal, and said, "Don't think about it, eat something, and go out with me to find Gu Leizi later."

Jiang Shi took the food, but he didn't have much appetite and only ate a little. Even though he had changed back to his human form now, he still didn't have the same appetite and appetite as before, which made Meng Ziling very worried.

After eating, Meng Ziling and Jiang Shi went out together. Liu Hanyang, who had been staying in the living room, saw the movements of the two of them, and just smiled and said, "Come back early."

Facing Liu Hanyang, Meng Ziling responded with a smile, but when he turned around, his expression immediately sank.

Regardless of whether Jiang Shi's loss of power was a deliberate conspiracy by Liu Hanyang, he must take action to occupy the initiative between him and Liu Hanyang.

Perhaps it was because the temperature inside the room was too warm. The moment Meng Ziling left the room, the low temperature hit, making Meng Ziling shiver uncomfortably, and goosebumps appeared all over his body.

Jiang Shi took off his coat and put it on for Mencius, and he was only wearing a cotton coat and sweater.

Meng Ziling grabbed Jiang Shi's hand, feeling that his palm was still warm and not as cold as when he was a white ghost, so he felt relieved.

It was snowing heavily outside, and the goose-feather-like snow fell on the umbrella surface and made a rustling sound. The thick snow layer on the street also made pedestrians leave deep footprints when they walked.

This reminded Mencius of the ice and snow in the Ninth District.

There were a lot of people and cars on the street, because of the news that was being broadcast on TV without hindrance, all the residents came out of their houses and rushed to the gate of District [-] in a hurry.And amidst the mixed noise of car horns and people's noise, there are also the intermittent gunshots coming from the edge of the city wall.

The city wall defense of District [-] has been breached by Snow Ghost. If the heavy snow really won't stop, then it is only a matter of time before District [-] is completely occupied by Snow Ghost.

Meng Ziling has been holding Jiang Shi's hand since he left the house, and now the temperature on Jiang Shi's hand is changing from the original warmth to the coldness, and even the skin has become as smooth as ceramic before.

Mencius turned to look at Jiang Shi worriedly. Jiang Shi's complexion was also turning white. He looked as pale as if he was sick, but his expression was stretched. He still liked this kind of cold temperature. This icy temperature was turning him back into his original White Ghost form.

Meng Ziling pulled Jiang Shi into the back of a building, put his coat on him, and put on the hat of the coat, then looked at Jiang Shi's pale face and eyes that were turning blue, and said, "You know what you are doing now Are you turning into a white ghost?"

Jiang Shi glanced at his hands and said, "The low temperature makes me unable to control it."

Mencius sighed, took Jiang Shi's hand, and said, "It doesn't matter if you can't control it, let's go back to Liu Hanyang first. Ask him what's going on."

Mencius thought of Liu Hanyang's smile before they left, that confident and strategizing look, as if he predicted that Mencius would not be able to break through this passive situation.

According to the current situation, it seems that Mencius really can't break this situation.

Because Jiang Shi in the white ghost state can't walk on the densely populated streets at the moment, so he can only go back again.

So Mencius Ling and Jiang Shi went back to Liu Hanyang's house within half an hour after leaving the house.

A large number of people gathered in the residential area. Too many cars and the heavy snow on the street made the traffic congested. People got out of the car one after another, scolding dissatisfiedly on the street, and people could be seen everywhere.

Jiang Shi wore a hat and buried his head very low, barely avoiding people's sight, and hurried back to the house.

The temperature inside the house is still as high as a warm spring.

Liu Hanyang was sitting at the dining table, eating steak, and Sisi was sitting opposite him. When he saw Mencius Ling who came back, he gave him a very displeased look.

Liu Hanyang glanced at Jiang Shi who was about to turn into a ghost with a smile, and clicked his tongue regretfully.

Meng Ziling sat down opposite Liu Hanyang, and said bluntly: "The method you used cannot make Jiang Shi change into your form that can be freely controlled, so I didn't see what you said. Sincerity in alliance with me."

Liu Hanyang raised his eyebrows and said, "I just wanted to use a gentler way to turn Jiang Shi back into a human, but I didn't expect that this way would not last long..."

Mencius looked at Jiang Shi. His Jiang Shi could endure and experience any physical pain, but it could not come from psychological, especially the gap from strong to weak.

Meng Ziling looked at Liu Hanyang and said: "If you really plan to form an alliance with me, let us help each other, and let Jiang Shi become like you, who can freely control the form, and then I will help you do whatever you want me to do. Things to do."

This is the result that Mencius least wanted, but the result he had to have.

Liu Hanyang put down the knife and fork in his hand, looked at Meng Ziling with a smile and said, "How do I know that you will really do anything for Jiang Shi?"

Before Mencius Ling could speak, Jiang Shi's figure swooped out and fought with Liu Hanyang.

Everything happened very fast, and the movements of the two fighting back and forth were also extremely fast. Before Meng Ziling could even see how the two of them fought, Jiang Shi was already suppressed by Liu Hanyang, with both hands Liu Hanyang twisted it in his hand, forming an awkward arc.

Mencius stood up nervously, and shouted: "Liu Hanyang, let him go!"

Liu Hanyang smiled at Meng Ziling, and then exerted force with both hands, only to hear two crackling sounds, and Jiang Shi's two wrists were dislocated.Then Liu Hanyang stood up from Jiang Shi's body, Meng Ziling immediately rushed over and helped Jiang Shi up, but he couldn't do anything about Jiang Shi's dislocated wrist, he didn't know how to connect it.

Liu Hanyang clapped his hands and said: "If you have something to say, can't you just talk about it, why are you so rough, you are not my opponent now."

Jiang Shi still stared at Liu Hanyang viciously, like an enraged trapped animal, with a ferocious smell all over his body.Mencius knew why Jiang Shi was angry, but there are many things that you cannot control.

Mencius whispered in Jiang Shi's ear: "There is no such thing as a free lunch, and this is actually a very good deal. Only when you become stronger will I be safer."

Jiang Shi frowned and looked at Mencius Ling, who nodded at him and said softly, "I won't suffer."

Only then did Jiang Shi put away the barbs all over his body, but he still looked angrily at Liu Hanyang.

Meng Ziling said to Liu Hanyang, "Tell me what you want me to do for you."

"It's very simple, just let the gates of the second district and the first district be opened, so that the population of several districts can flow freely." Liu Hanyang said with a smile on his lips, "I believe you can do it, Mencius Ling."

Meng Ziling said: "Then how can you guarantee that you will really turn Jiang Shi into a person like you?"

Liu Hanyang said seriously: "This is the question of sincerity you mentioned. You don't know how much sincerity I have for this condition, and I don't know how much sincerity you have. So this question is actually a game. Are you brave enough?"

Mencius was silent for a while, then said, "Okay."

This is a gamble, Mencius betting that Liu Hanyang needs him and Jiang Shi as allies.

Liu Hanyang smiled satisfied, and said: "Since this is the case, it is better to hit the sun than to choose a day. Let's start now. You find a way to open the gates of District [-] and District [-]. I will also start now to remodel Jiang Shi's body." , let him become stronger, how?"

"Okay, I hope you won't break your promise."

"of course."

Meng Ziling made an agreement with Liu Hanyang, and then Liu Hanyang brought Jiang Shi into his bedroom. Meng Ziling used Sisi's computer with anti-tracking to log in to the mailbox, and began to contact people he hadn't contacted for a long time. Use that immortality experimental data as a bargaining chip.

As Liu Hanyang said, this is a game full of danger.

When Meng Ziling sent emails to these people, he completely exposed himself. Whether he can escape unscathed in the future depends not only on strength, but also on luck and time.

The longer the time, the less they can go.
